FORTNIGHT OVERVIEW

Bon - The Way of the White Water
Spring - Fortnight 1 (Fire+Fire)

Festival/Mar 20 (+0-15 days): The first fortnight of the Spring session is linked to the Bonpos of Tibet. Its primitive views of reality that once dominated this region are an asset, not a detriment. The respect for Mt Gods, Lake Goddesses and the Nagas (Ecology), as well as field to kitchen altar associations, albeit not scientifically valid, are nevertheless psychologically of use in sounding the subconscious. Modern man, divorced from nature, benefits from consciously working at reestablishing this connection between conscious and subconscious realms. Honoring mountain gods, lake and river goddesses, building shrines and altars in various zones is a way to crystallize their inward and outward connectivity. The altars being outward expressions of inward focal points or complexes, bringing all together. Perception of mystery, of unknown unseen power - Expressing the oneness of everything and establishing the subconscious connection between the outer and inner world. Tantric path of alteration within Bon and Vajrayana. Inner transmutation leading to Dzogchenian unity. Everything outward is also in us, everything is one.

First 5 Day Ko Day 1-5 of 1st Fortnight

Festival & Fast: Losar like Festival on first day.
Practices: Fire related practices. (daily 20" exercise)
History: Zhang Zhung, linked to Bon’s origins (c. 500 BCE–625 CE), was a historical kingdom in western Tibet, centered around Mount Kailash, with archaeological evidence from sites like Kyunglung suggesting a preBuddhist culture. Practices included fire burning rites at dawn and altars for mountain gods, lake goddesses, and Nagas, fostering ecological reverence and innerouter unity. The unique idea of venerating natural deities as manifestations of universal oneness underscores its shamanic roots, predating Buddhist influence.

Practice	Bonfire Celebration of the new year, Fire Puja - Ritual to offer substances to fire, symbolizing transformation.	Tsa Lung - Breathing exercises to ignite inner fire.	Trul Khor - Yoga postures to awaken energy channels. (Bön) Trul Khor, Bön’s yogic movements, includes exercises to activate the fire element. One practice involves dynamic circular arm motions while visualizing a fiery wheel at the navel. Coordinate breath with movement, inhaling to stoke the fire, exhaling to spread its heat. This energizes the body, clears stagnation, and aligns with Bön’s shamanistic integration of physical and energetic practices.	Kum Nye, linked to Bön medical traditions, includes poses to awaken energy. In a fire-focused pose, stand with feet apart, knees bent, and arms raised like flames. Breathe deeply, visualizing heat rising from your core, igniting vitality. Hold for a few minutes, feeling warmth spread. This practice, rooted in Tibetan healing, boosts energy and aligns with Bön’s elemental balance.	Shenlha Ökar Sun Meditation (Bön) Shenlha Ökar is a Bön deity associated with radiant light and wisdom. In this meditation, visualize Shenlha Ökar above you, emanating brilliant white light like the sun. As you chant his mantra (e.g., “OM SHENLHA ÖKAR DÜ”), imagine this light entering your crown, filling your body with warmth and clarity. This practice harnesses the sun’s energy to dissolve ignorance and cultivate enlightened awareness, rooted in Bön’s Dzogchen tradition.

Second 5 Day Ko Day 6-10 of 1st Fortnight

Festival & Fast: none
Practices: Fire related practices. (daily 20" exercise)
History: Old Bon, emerging before the 7thcentury Buddhist influx, represents Tibet’s indigenous shamanism, with texts like the Bonpo Kanjur tracing its lineage to Tonpa Shenrab (mythically dated to 18,000 years ago, though likely 2nd century BCE). Rituals involved oil lamps and ashes for confessions, aiming to connect subconscious and conscious realms through purification. Its belief in all phenomena as interconnected reflects a prescientific worldview, emphasizing spiritual ecology.

Third 4/5 Day KoDay 11-15 of 1st Fortnight

Festival & Fast: Nyungne 2 day fast on last two days of fortnight.
Practices: Fire related practices. (daily 20" exercise)
History: New Bon, formalized in the 14th century by figures like Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen, blended Bon with Nyingma Buddhism, adopting Dzogchen and terma traditions, though not directly tied to Naxi or Dragon Texts (a textual misassociation). Practices like Dzogchen meditations (Trecho, Tongo) and terma revelations focus on inner transmutation and ultimate unity. It uniquely holds that rediscovered teachings reveal timeless truths, integrating ancient Bon with Buddhist philosophy.

Practice	Oil Lamp altar Meditation Visualization of Inner Fire - Meditate on the inner fire at the navel. - Focus on a flame to enhance concentration. Tummo Breath Retention Practice (Vajrayana/Nyingma) While Tummo is shared across traditions, this Nyingma-inspired version complements Bön’s fire focus. Sit comfortably and visualize a red-hot seed syllable (like “RAM”) at your navel. Inhale deeply, hold the breath gently, and imagine the fire blazing upward through the central channel, warming your body. Exhale slowly, spreading light. This practice builds inner heat and spiritual clarity, resonating with Bön’s elemental work.	Dzogchen Meditation - Dzogchen Clear Light Meditation (Bön) Dzogchen, central to Bön, emphasizes the mind’s natural radiance. In this meditation, sit in open awareness, imagining your mind as a clear flame or sun-like orb at your heart. Rest in this light without grasping, allowing thoughts to dissolve into its warmth. The practice connects to the fire principle as the inner radiance of being, purifying distractions and revealing the mind’s pristine nature.	Gtum-mo - Yogic practice for generating inner heat.	Soul Retrieval with Fire Element (Bön) In Bön shamanism, soul retrieval (Lalu) can incorporate the fire element to restore vitality. The practitioner enters a trance, visualizing a fiery light that seeks out fragmented soul parts. This fire burns away obstacles, warming and guiding the soul back to the body. Offerings like incense or a small flame may accompany the ritual, emphasizing fire’s role in purification and energetic reintegration.	Chöd Fire Offering Practice (Bön) In Bön’s Chöd practice, you mentally offer your body as a fire offering to spiritual beings. Visualize your body transforming into a blazing fire, radiating light and heat, which satisfies negative forces or karmic debts. Accompany this with chanting and drum rhythms, focusing on the fire consuming ego and attachments. This shamanistic practice aligns with Bön’s emphasis on harmonizing with unseen energies through fiery transformation
